Abstract

Optimum hydrostatic circular rotating bearing design is the objective of the designer. Most of the previous designs concerned with the optimization of single objective function such as minimization of power loss or maximization of static and dynamic stiffness. An alogorithm for solving bicriteria programming problems has been constructed and used successfully for solving the problem of optimal design of hydrostatic thrust bearing under rotation. A significant results has been obtained.
